It wont be running 120bhp from an exhaust and filter.
Your name suggests the car is turbo'd. If thats the case look into injectors, standalone management etc.

Hadnt noticed that... 120bhp from a turbo is very poor though. I doubt it would be though because i would assume he would have mentioned it with the exhaust and filter.
OP- Your next step would probly be to add a cam in there.

If only tuning worked that way, my old S14 would have had about a thousand horses!

120bhp from those mods - no chance that's either adding on figures or a quote me happy set of rollers.
Ditch the 8v and go for the 16v lump.

As people have said, 120bhp from those mods on a VTR is not possible.
What sort of filter is it, replacement panel, cone, enclosed?

Dont discount the 8v, they can make good power with a few trick bits. Unfortunately a filter and exhaust system is not enough

That means its a later type vtr engine, 100brake standard, but pipe and filter alone wont give you 20 brake
A cam would be the next step

Standard silvertop isnt amazing, especially with roller rockers and soft valve springs

Get a 16v you will spend so much tuning a 8v and will just about break even with 16v power standerd.
